Today we helped a gentleman who developed adjacent level spinal stenosis and kyphosis above a previous scoliosis fusion. He had developed bilateral lower extremity clumsiness due to the spinal cord pinch.
Today I fixed the stenosis w a 2 level thoracic laminectomy and a revision T10-Iliac wing extension decompression and fusion w BMP.
Surgical time: 3.25 hrs.
Room Aura: Excellent.
Scrubbed: Jaclyn, Gilbert, Charley.
Circulator: Nurse Kelly.
EBL: 1,300 cc.
Blood transfused: none.
Complications: none.
He should be able to stand up straight with less clumsiness over next few days.
He will be in hospital probably 3 nights.
